Ubuntu Base Setup

Full server setup script for Ubuntu (including Raspberry Pi). Installs core packages, creates a user, sets up Docker, Python, Azure CLI, and azcopy.

What it does

System update — apt update, apt upgrade, apt full-upgrade, installs vim and cursor, refreshes snaps
User creation — Creates a user with a prompted password
Docker — Installs Docker via the convenience script, adds user to docker group, enables on startup
Python — Installs python3 and pip3, installs docker-compose via pip
Azure CLI — Installs Azure CLI and azcopy (auto-detects ARM64 vs x86_64)
Shell aliases — Adds c, s, and ll aliases to ~/.bash_aliases
Reboots the system
